Smith aims to legalize and tax marijuana. He said, "The failed war on drugs is the lynchpin of the Republican party's Southern strategy, which was designed to trick white Southerners into voting against their own interests. With the legalization of marijuana, we can increase tax revenue, close expensive for-profit prisons, and use the savings to improve the education of our children."

Legalize and tax marijuana. The failed "war on drugs" is nothing but a war on minorities. It is the lynchpin of the Republican party’s Southern strategy, which was designed to trick white Southerners into voting against their own interests. With the legalization of marijuana, we can increase tax revenue, close expensive for-profit prisons, and use the savings to improve the education of our children.

Smith, a father of three, has worked as a disability attorney in LaGrange for the past 30 years. He has a BA in History from LaGrange College, JD and LLM degrees from Atlanta Law School, and an MA in Psychology from the University of West Georgia.
